Material Properties

(OP)
We are a small company who are looking at getting a basic Ansys license and a fatigue model license to confirm our inhouse calculations and to optimize designs.

My concerns would be the materials database for fatigue calculations. Where does one get decent data to create their materials database?

A typical selection of materials for us would be a variety of rolled steel like 1040, 4340 annealed, 4140 heat treated. Along with some forged steels such as A694-03 F60. Also plate steels such as A516-70.

Are s-n graphs available from anywhere on a per item basis, or through various standards? Is there any one standards that would cover a variety of steels like I listed above?
